Ben&Ben's drummer, Jam Villanueva, has been diagnosed with a condition that affects her ability to play drums. In a statement on Instagram, the band said that Jam has been dealing with Quervain's tendinosis and 'Drummer's Wrist' for the past couple of weeks. They also said that Jam continued rehearsing with the band for their recent performances last weekend, 'while working with specialists to manage her pain.' 'We want to assure everyone that the condition is temporary and treatable – it's something that many drummers have gone through and recovered from,' they said. However, to properly heal, 'Jam's doctor has advised her to completely rest her left wrist for at least the entire month of June.' 'While we will miss the energy and magic she shares with us on stage, her health is our utmost priority.'

After the Philippine leg, the band will fly to California for a show on July 12 and Singapore on December 14. More cities for the tour will be announced soon. Ben&Ben's latest single 'Saranggola' was released in April and marked their eight years as a band. Their latest album 'The Traveller Across Dimensions' was released in November 2024. It includes the tracks, 'Could Be Something,' 'Comets,' and 'Triumph.' The band had a major concert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in December 2024 in support of the album. The show featured Ben&Ben's live music with filmmaking and multimedia elements to create an animation-concert hybrid. Ben&Ben also performed at the Off Limits Music Festival in Abu Dhabi in April. Ed Sheeran, One Republic, and Kaiser Chiefs were also part of the lineup. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News
